United travel to the Emirates Stadium for the first time on Sunday and with Chelsea visiting Anfield the day before all three points could be vital in where the title ends up come May. Of course the title will not be decided in the 48 hours on the weekend but it'll be a big marker in where it will end up, a United win and Chelsea defeat would mean a pretty much mean United have all but won the title, in my opinion but a Chelsea win and United defeat or draw and it's game on again! Arsenal beat United 1-0 at OT earlier on in the season thanks to an Adebayor goal and that was the only home defeat United have tasted this season, United will try and inflict the same pain on Arsenal on Sunday. Adam's XIVan Der Sar
Neville, (c) - Ferdinand - Vidic - Evra
Ronaldo - Scholes - Carrick - Giggs
Rooney - Saha With the arrival of Larsson and the form of Solskjaer, Fergie will have selection problems for the front two but I always believe in playing your strongest players in the big games and that for me is our strongest XI. PredictionIt will be a tight game with the two best football playing sides in England and it will be an excellent game of football that's for sure. My head says a 2-2 Drew but my heart is saying United will nick it in another classic encounter. UNITED 3-2 |

Yeh I agree with that starting eleven Adam. However I don't share the same optimism that you have. My prediction is that it'll be a 1-0 win to Arsenal. Sorry for being negative lol.

Got to be that start up and great to have the options of Larsson and Ole as subs if needed..
IF we play at our best we've got to have a great chance at scoring a few and beating them . I think we need a good win against them to show we're up for winning the Premiership this season. Having said that a draw wouldn't be a bad result.
3-1 to United Scholes Rooney and Larsson #worship# #worship# #worship# #worship# #worship#

I wouldn't be too bothered with a draw either, it'd be a good result considering Arsenal's form but if we play how we've been playing and we take our chances I don't see there being any need for pessimism.

I think United have the upper hand here, not least because Gilberto Silva is suspended  United should have learnt their lesson after losing late on to Arsenal, i fancy us for revenge and Rooney and Ronaldo to give them the run around a little. 3-1 United Rooney 2, Ronaldo 1 That does depend on keeping the Arsenal midfield quiet though, Rosicky destroyed us at OT, Fabrigas can do the same easily.. |

I don't know about 3-1, I think a 2-1 win is more likely. They're dangerous on the break especially with Fabregas and Rosicky not to mention that passing game they have going. Henry is looking better too so it's going to be a tough one.

Most important weekend in the prem this one. Liverpool v Chel$ki, Hatton v Umbongo then United V Arsenal.
Should we start with Rooney and Saha upfront though? Haven't been impressed with either lately and Larsson was brought in for a reason...

* I was chtatting earlier and found out that Garry Nneville wil be 66/1 to score last in the United v Arsenal clash. That is surely worth putting a tenner on.

I absolutely shitting it in anticipation of this weekend!
I think we can beat Arsenal, but its going to be one hell of a tough match.
Arsenal have little to play for in terms of the title, so this one will be solely down to them wanting to gain some (admittedly scant) consolation and do the double over us in a season.
If Liverpool could force Chelsea to drop points, and we could nick a win here.....
Id be freakin ecstatic!

If Liverpool win against Chelsea I might actually be able to enjoy the match because even if we lose we'd still have that 6 point gap but if not I'm gonna be a nervous wreck. You never know which Arsenal team is going to show up, if they're on their game then I think we'll drop points but we could just as easily score a few goals against them and walk away with a win. I really don't know which way to go with this one but I think there will be goals so 3-2 but I don't know who to  |

They may not be playing for the title but they'll certainly want to work their way into the top 4 so they're not going to roll over. I do agree that it will be about which ARSEnal side is going to show up, but they're looking better now. I hope we take them to the cleaners. |
